The C100 series gearless contractometer is designed to provide reliability and to eliminate product waste caused by plating stress.
The device measures stress in an electrodeposited part that will blister or peel off if stress is severe. Excessive stress can cause distortion in the work piece, resulting in the need to scrape the work and causing premature failure by accelerating corrosion. By measuring the angular deflection of a helix that has been plated on one, the amount of stress can be determined. This instrument is gearless to provide improved reproducibility and reduced backlash.
